There are two plugs, one on the sensor, and one on the vehicle end. They sit inside a protective box to keep the elements out. It sounds like you need the plug on the vehicle end, as well as a new sensor, if both are damaged.

Read this article, and look specifically at step 14, and the relevant photos in that step.

You have which new socket, the sensor end or the vehicle end?

If it is just a case of joining the two separate wires I would think that two splices with crimp and solder connections would work fine, then wrap it to protect it. It is just a continuity loop.

I have both new brake pad sensor, and the socket from vehicle end...
